Shawn Forde succumbed in the Burns Care Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation‘s (GPHC) yesterday. He had been rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital with burns hours after firemen had raced to one of the buildings that housed some of the courts in the city.
Fire Chief Marlon Gentle had said that the fire was set by an arsonist. Forde succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment.
Investigating authorities have said that incendiaries devices were found inside the office where the blaze started and as such Forde was being perceived as a suspect to the crime.
The fire which was meant to completely destroy the three-storey wooden building gutted an office on the lower flat as firefighters successfully stopped the flames from spreading.
Businessman Omprakash ‘Buddy’ Shivraj had become the new owner of the property.
At least two people were taken into police custody and released in relations to the fire.
Kaieteur News understands that Forde, who was said to be 42 years old and a former resident at Lot 11 Lamaha Street, succumbed around 11:00hours while receiving treatment at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital.
